After Upgrading to IOS5, iPad 1 Is No Longer Recognized by iTunes

Hi,
My iPad 1 with wifi/3G was working perfectly until I updated to iOS5. The update process seemed to have gone fine but at the end my iPad showed up in iTunes as an unrecognized device. Not only that, iTunes then gives the message: "We are unable to complete your activation at this time."
I have tried restarting my computer, restarting the iPad, restaring the iPad in safe mode, etc. Nothing has worked so far. I can't even restore the iPad since iTunes won't recognize it nor activate...
Anyone has any ideas how to resurrect the iPad?
Thanks in advance!
Anna

  • After upgrading to ios5 iPad will not sync

    Downloaded iOS without issue. After initial errors restoring, finally got through that portion. Then had problems getting through iPad setup - got stuck on "Find my iPad" screen; rebooted device and  got through that. Now the iPad will not sync with my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Restored twice. Keep getting "Failed to initialize Snyc" error message.

    I experienced this one time and this is what I did and it worked for me. You can try it as well and see of it works for you.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on your ID and sign out. Restart your iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign In. Then go to automatic downloads and try again.

    I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that fixed it. Here are the specific instructions that I was given.

  • HT1386 I can't use my iphone after upgrading to IOS5

    Can someone help?  I can't use my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios5.

    I have iphone 3 GS.  I upgraded the software to ios 5 and the phone is now can't be accessed.  All I can see is the Gray screen says Iphone.  It ask me to set it up, choose your country, wifi, etc.  when I did that, it always stop at the page where it says "Apple activation server is down, please try it again".  Tried so many times but the same messages kept showing up.  Connect it to Itunes, itunes said there is no sim card installed.  I went to AT&T to get the new simcard and it still saying the same thing.  don't know what's wrong with it.

  • Can't unbrick 3GS after upgrading to iOS5.1.1

    i cannot unbrick my 3GS after upgrading to iOS5.1.1 it is not giving me an option to factory reset. When i hook up with iTunes to unbrick it after 3-4 mion it says there is no SIM card please insert SIM and SIM card is inside phone which i was using before upgrading iOS. please help
    thanks

    Assuming you're still using Telus, I'd say take it into their shop and get a fresh replacement SIM. If it wasn't hacked or jailbroken, that's the most likely explanation. I realize you've tried different ones, but it's worth a shot.
    You might want to try putting it in DFU mode and restoring again as well. If those things don't work, it's probably time for a trip to the Apple Store to have it looked at.

  • After upgrading to iOS5 - phone ear speaker is NOT working

    Well, my excitement from upgrading to the new iOS5 on my iPhone 4 gave way to frustration when I found out that the phone's built-in ear speaker is no longer working. Tried everything from a hard reset, to re-syncing with iTunes, playing around with every setting I could find, and a few "fixes" I found online that were absolutely useless and did nothing.
    This only appears to happen when making or receiving phone calls (and listening to voice mail) - when I select speaker, all audio plays normally, but clicking back over to headset, and nothing. Earbuds also work okay. 
    Prior to installing iOS5 this problem did not exist in the least.
    Apple - I am going to ASSUME you properly beta tested this OS on ALL compatible devices prior to its release, did you not? Apparently (from my web searching) I am not the only person suffering this malfunction with their iPhone after upgrading to iOS5.
    Is there anyone out there that has figured out a way to fix this, or am I just screwed? I don't know how to revert back to iOS 4.3.3 if that's even possible at this point.  This is a phone I use for work, and I need to have this functioning properly.
    Please help. Anyone... thank you. 

    I'm having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4. Since the upgrade to IOS5, I've noticed I can no longer hear calls through the ear-piece, though using the speaker phone option works fine.
    I took my phone to the  Apple Store in Sydney and they advised that the problem was related to my sim card & that I should contact my telco for a replacement. I seriously didn't believe the Apple rep when she said this, but politely said thanks, went home and tried it out by swapping my sim with my wife's.
    Guess what... it didn't make the slightest difference.
    My wife has an iPhone 4 still running IOS4 and the ear-piece works fine. I even put my sim card into her phone and it worked fine as well. So the issue is definitely not related to the sim card.
    It sounds like a common issue affecting a lot of iPhone 4 users that have upgraded to IOS5. I'm surprised Apple hasn't acknowledged this and have a patch available to correct (it doesn't sound like a hardware issue).
    Anyway, looks like a trip back to the Apple store for more great suggestions.

  • How do i get all my contacts back after upgrading to ios5?

    After upgrading to ios5, I lost all my contacts, notes, pictures, videos, EVERYTHING ! All my apps were back, but not in the folders I had set up. I lost all my notes from school, my homework, my passwords for everything too...this really *****.

    You can look at this document about a restore, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, but it will show you that after you restore, it takes you to the Setup assistant which is what  you encounter with a new device. From there, you select to restore to a backup and select the iCloud backup.

  • After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load.  Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

    After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load.  Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

    Go to the App Stor and download an app- any free app will do, it doesn't matter.
    Doing this usually "resets" your device's "app awareness" and you should be able to run any app with no problem.
    And no, you don't have to keep that free one you just downloaded.  You can delete it if you don't want it.
